18.01.2022 FIRE ACTION WEEK kicks off today and Victorians are being urged to prepare themselves and their properties for this year’s bushfire season. Key points for community members to focus on: - Taking the time to understand your personal fire risk.... - Make a fire plan including triggers to leave, what you will take, where you will go and how you will get there. - Preparing your property to minimise the chance of property damage during a fire, even if you plan to leave early. - Ensure you stay up to date throughout the fire danger period including information on Fire Danger Ratings on the VicEmergency website or app daily to understand the fire risk in your local area. Stay safe.

18.01.2022 We are part of your community, and our people are ready to respond when you need us most.

We honour all of them today, from here and around the world thank you for keeping us safe.

13.01.2022 As summer and another fire danger period is approaching and restrictions are changing, CFA Brigades are adapting and supporting our members to undertake important training for the fire season ahead. We will be running drills and ensuring our volunteers are skilled and ready to support our communities - all under the covid guidelines.

The commencement of the Fire Danger Period is determined on local existing and predicted conditions that lead to increased fire risk for your locality. This means you cannot light a fire in the open air unless you have a permit or comply with certain requirements.... If you do not obtain a permit, you could be breaking the law and may be prosecuted. Penalties may include a fine up to $19,342 and/or up to 12 months' imprisonment.

Traffic delays along the detour using the Old Western Highway into Melton West are expected to ease quickly. Thanks again for your patience as crews cleared the truck and debris, and carried out inspections of the road surface. #victraffic --------------------------------- The Western Freeway is closed Melbourne-bound at Hopetoun Park due to an earlier truck fire. The truck was carrying toilet paper. An extensive clean-up is underway. Diversions have been set up by emergency services onto the Old Western Highway/Bacchus Marsh exit. You can then return to the Western Freeway via Coburns Road through Melton. This closure is under Victoria Police control. The Melbourne-bound lanes of the freeway will re-open when investigations are complete and it’s safe to do so. #victraffic

05.01.2022 House fires can happen to anyone, any time. More than 90% of Victorians recently surveyed agreed that having a working smoke alarm at home made them feel safe. But only one in ten households have their smoke alarms in the recommended location, with the remainder putting themselves at risk of serious injury or death.... Are your smoke alarms in the right places? Our latest fire safety advice is that all homes should have smoke alarms installed in each bedroom and living area to give everyone the greatest chance of escaping a fire. CFA data for the last 10 years shows a quarter of all house fires resulting in death or serious injury started in bedrooms. More than half occurred between the sleeping hours of 8pm and 8am with the majority starting between midnight and 4am. Most fatalities occur in July and August. So winter is a critical time for you to be aware of the dangers that may be present in your home. More information can be found https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/silence-is-deadly Only working smoke alarms save lives.

Encourage action 4. Check in Who will you ask - R U OK?

04.01.2022 Fire is merciless and does not discriminate.
